Employment Law
Employment law is a highly dynamic field of expertise, with new legislation on the subject of, among others, dismissal and flexible employment relations. We focus on employment law in the broadest sense, including individual and collective dismissals (reorganization), adjusting employment conditions and non-competition disputes. We also have extensive vast experience in the field of flexible employment relationships and consultancy/freelance agreements. Our clients are both national and international organizations, (managing) directors and employees, in a variety of sectors of the economy.
